Jagdeo criticises ‘vile’ comments hurled at crossovers to the PPP

Wait 5 sec.

General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C), Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo rebuked “vile” comments against some of the former opposition politicians who have now thrown their support behind his party.“If you’re Afro-Guyanese and you come to the PPP, you are called all sorts of names. It’s so vile.“And then the Indian ones who might’ve supported the PNC, if they decided to support the PPP or anyone else, it’s suddenly ‘Oh we expected that from them’,” Jagdeo said on Thursday at his weekly press conference.Jagdeo juxtaposed those reactions and utterances to what transpires in his party. In the PPP, according to Jagdeo, persons of all ethnicities are embraced.“If you wanna make the choice to support us… PPP supporters are happy for that because they see people recognising that we are changing the country.“Most PPP supporters know that what is important is winning the elections so that we can continue transforming this country,” JKagdeo said.Fmr.
